Indulgence is having the Greatest Impact on Consumer Behaviour in the German Spirits market.

As economic and societal change drives incremental evolution of behavioral patterns, consumers’ consumption patterns can undergo changes as a result of a multitude of different trends: from indulgence to media influence, from aspirations for healthy lifestyles to the shifting state of gender roles, an understanding of which segments of society are consuming which products and why provides companies with an invaluable insight into the motivating forces of the market, allowing them to position their products with maximum efficiency and reap the greatest rewards.

The new report – The German Spirits Market: What Consumers Drink and Why? – is the result of its unique, highly detailed, and proprietary study of consumers’ Spirits consumption habits, offering highly segmented data on the influence of 20 consumer trends on 26 consumer groups within the Spirits sector. Together with its provision of consumer penetration data for brands and private labels, and unique retailer choice data at the product category level – both of which augment original survey results with subsequent consumer tracking and modeling – this report answers the key questions integral to any Consumer Packaged Goods organization’s success: who is consuming what, and what is motivating this consumption? With its accurate quantification of the impact of consumer trends on specific segments of the market, The German Spirits Market: What Consumers Drink and Why? Facilitates informed updating of marketing tactics and strategic planning, and should be considered required reading for those serious about capitalizing on the opportunities in Germany’s Spirits market.


Some key insights include:  



  • Tequila & Mezcal consumption is low in Germany, while those that do consume Tequila & Mezcal are mostly situated in younger age groups. These consumers tend to have low disposable incomes, limiting total consumption of the category.
  • The Speciality Spirits market is the largest spirit segment in the overall German Spirits market by value. This is despite Non-users accounting for over half of each age group and low numbers of Heavy users. Producers should take notice of the large number of Light users across all age groups and create strategies to increase their consumption frequency.
  • Older consumers account for the largest share of the German Spirits market by value. Early Young Adults are the smallest segment, with value increasing as consumers get older. The reasons for this include the greater availability of disposable income among older age groups and the influence of competing alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine, and soft drinks in different age groups.
  • The Tequila & Mezcal market is the smallest segment in the overall German Spirits market by value and volume. This is despite Non-users accounting for over half of each age group and low numbers of Heavy users. Producers should take notice of the large number of Light users across all age groups and create strategies to increase their consumption frequency.



The German Spirits market by value is dominated by the Better Off wealth group, which, together with the Highly Affluent wealth group, comprise over half of the German Spirits market by value, indicating strong potential for premium products.
